[0.15.1] Crash when restarting with base mod disabled

[RainbowCrane]

After updating to 0.15.1 I was able to start the game up to the main menu, and I immediately went to the Mods screen to make sure everything was disabled prior to beginning a new map. After toggling "disable all" and hitting back the game reloaded and immediately crashed with "unexpected error occurred", during the "building prototypes" phase of loading. Attempts to start again yield the same error. Here's factorio-current.log

An uninstall then reinstall (from Steam) to 0.14 allowed starting under 0.14. I opted back in to the Beta, updated, then was able to start. Based on a message when I started 0.14 I think I disabled the Base mod when disabling mods in 0.15 - maybe that caused the game to fail to load properly?

All fixed now.

Yes, that is the cause, I changed the thread title accordingly. I did not manage to disable the base mod using the "Enable/disable all" button though, it ignores the base mod and only triggers player mods. You must have done that by hand somehow.

Thanks for the confirmation. I'm loving the update.

I am having the same problem only without the fix. I opted into 0.15.x and immediately went to disable mods, autofill, bot-start, and basemod. Upon clicking ok the game restarted itself but came up with an error that will not let it open fully.

I have tried opting out of beta and back.
I have tried fully uninstalling, installing the stable version then switching to 0.15.x same problem.

It will not open, I get the same error every time.

Wow, so I just realized base mod is not a mod, had no clue. Anyway, went into the mod-list.json in notepad and changed
{
"name": "base",
"enabled": flase },

to

{
"name": "base",
"enabled": true },

now the game opens fine it seems
Anyway, I won't fully edit this post just in case someone else doesn't realize what base mod is like I didn't.

The crash is fixed for the next version of 0.15 but the game can't be loaded if *some* mod doesn't define values the game needs.

You'll now get an error stating what's wrong.
